Disappointed that people started to notice the incredibly horrid social policy that ALEC has been paying to get enacted, They have decided that your paycheck should be the focus of their next assault on common decency and the American way.

Race to the bottom with ALEC!!

The "Living Wage Mandate Preemption Act" would repeal and then ban local "living wage" ordinances like the ones in some 140 cities that provide a higher minimum for city workers/contractors -- enough to maintain a safe, decent standard of living in a community. Similarly, the ALEC "Starting (Minimum) Wage Repeal Act" would preempt the ability of localities to pay a minimum wage higher than the federal level. Some 22 states allow starting wages, but ALEC objects to the policy as an "unfunded mandate."

That stinks! I can't even eat at pizza hut or taco bell anymore. Well, good we have great Chinese here. I'm pretty sure they aren't members of Alex. Pizza Hut was doing $10 pizza's too. I keep reading who is doing what and shopping does get simpler as the number of companies I don't want to support grows.

"Today, YUM Brands was the 12th company to announce that it was pulling out of ALEC." Found it! I can EAT PIZZA!!!!! Thanks, I was reading kinda fast and missed that. It don't change the fact they were sitting around in those meetings last year and I was blissfully consuming their products unaware.

"As a Neolibertarian, I reserve the right to misinterpret the Constitution to achieve the ends I want", he said. "Of course I also reserve the right to misinterpret the Bible, the dictionary and the funny papers, for the same ends, At least I am consistent. Let me be clear, my ends are not yours."
